The Gamers Outreach Foundation transformed the Eastern Michigan University student center into the place to be on campus and — if you're a gamer — the place to be in Michigan. Gamers for Giving 2009 featured a non-stop 300 person LAN, a Halo 3 tournament with $1,000 and Recon armor up for grabs, and a chance to play against... Full story »

The first of two Halo games this year to not have you peering out of the helmet of Spartan 117, Halo Wars feels like Halo — right down to the wisecracking marines and collecting hidden skulls on the maps. Fears of Halo Wars being a mediocre console real-time strategy game with the Halo name slapped on it can be... Full story »

First and foremost I would like to applaud RIM for building the Blackberry Storm in Canada, I would love to see more tech manufacturers follow suit and build their devices here in North America. What makes the Storm different from other Blackberry devices to come before it? Well, the lack of a physical qwerty keyboard is one thing, the... Full story »

It never fails, as soon as I buy something within 6 months a better version of it comes out, which is another reason I have been holding out on a bigscreen flatpanel tv. I bought my Zune the summer before last and snagged one of the Halo 3 limited edition models. Five months later Microsoft drops the 80 gigabyte... Full story »

This weekend I was granted access to the Resistance 2 public beta by my friendly Sony PR rep, but due to too much awesomeness in the way of Fable 2 and more Dead Space I didn't have any time to play it. Firing up the Triple last night I installed the 2.2 GB file and downloaded the necessary 16MB... Full story »

Tonight I was hoping to post some impressions on the Resistance 2 beta, but as the PSN was down for scheduled maintenance, that wasn't possible. Instead, here's my first impressions of the 16 gigabyte black Zune I got in the mail today. What's in the box 16 Gigabyte Zune Quick start guide User manual Sync cable with translucent hot...

Last month, the gaming blogs went nuts with a rumor that Google was going to buy Valve, the Half-Life developer and owner of one of the top platforms for digital game distribution. Now Google is officially breaking into video games, but the news is decidedly less cool. Soon, Google will be putting video ads in games that players must... Full story »

In a move shocking everyone this morning Bungie has let loose with a video showing evidence of a new campaign level! Holy crapula! A Joystiq user even found a date hidden on Bungie.net that could possibly the release date for the expansion All I can say is that after the semi-lame duck of an ending for Halo 3 this...

With all of the hubbub about the "New Xbox Experience" and that it will more than likely see the light of day in November, I figured I would list off my most anticipated features. And no, they don't include avatars, Prime time, or Netflix. What am I lookin' forward to? Full story »

So this past weekend (pretty much the only time I get to do any gaming nowadays with school, blogging, print features, my nine to five, and a social life(?)), I spent Saturday night playing some games I haven't picked up in a while and that I had yet to play on my new tv. Now that I can actually... Full story »

So, rumor has it that Halo 4 is being developed by Gearbox software and it will be a launch title to the successor of the Xbox 360. Sounds great, right? Think again. Microsoft knows the only way to get people to even buy into the idea of shelling out another $400+ for a new console so soon is to... Full story »

So, seeing as the whole $130 Lancer bundle for Gears of War 2 rumor has been squashed, you can all rest soundly and spend that extra $70 on something worthwhile. How about pre-ordering the Ultimate Matrix Collection Blu-ray off of Amazon? And while you're there, you can preorder a Lancer replica, the one that Cliffy B Cliff Blesinski talked... Full story »

Man Zero needs to know: What are the worst snow levels in the history of video games? Post your most hated ice monstrosities in the comments below. As most Michiganders scrape ice off their cars, slide across treacherous snowy roads and stumble on icy sidewalks, I can't help but hearken back to the frustrating ice and snow levels in the...

As soon as I moved to Michigan, I turned to Comcast for my cable television and high-speed Internet needs. And with the exception of Comcast's crummy DVR, I was pretty pleased with the service. Six months in, I upgraded to Comcast's premium 8 megabit per second Internet because it got me a promotional rate. Once that promotion expired, however, my... Full story »

It's official. I am the last blogger to post a review review Halo 3. This is a bit like being the last caveman to discover fire or the first "Biggest Loser" contestant to eat the cookies. So what took me so long? I chalk it up to the staggering amount of stuff there is to do in the game.... Full story »

As a gamer and cartoon enthusiast, I became a fast fan of Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw, the angry British dude who riffs on games in a weekly cartoon on The Escapist. But he usually directs his biting ire at PC games I neither know nor care about, so he doesn't make me mad. But when my associate Ryan Eilders, from... Full story »

I just finished Metroid Prime 3 Corruption for Wii, and the beginning of my review will read something like this: Best. FPS. Controls. Ever. And I'm preparing to defend this bold-ish statement against legions of hardcore PC gamers who insist that nothing rivals the precision of a mouse and keyboard for first-person shooter gaming. I'm also prepared to defend it... Full story »

It's official: Halo 3 is a media darling, and Michigan especially is nuts about it. Grand Rapids gamers, some of whom lined up as early as 5:30 p.m. Monday for the midnight launch, are getting ready to ditch class and any other obligations for a day or more of Halo 3 binging. Check out Gamers geeked up for fun with... Full story »
